Vashon Beach Naturalists: Surrounded by water, sharing the wonder

Vashon Beach Naturalists serve as educators in our community. They offer a variety of programs for individuals and families interested in learning about life on Vashon’s beaches. Programs range from year round low tide interpretive beach walks to more intensive training courses that you can take to become a beach naturalist yourself.
